Jennifer Lopez, 51, stunned the world with this flawless nude photo yesterday. But one fellow celeb says it’s done “real damage.”
I can’t bear it any longer. There’s something that’s truly getting on my t**s.
And no, sadly, it’s not a handsome young man — it’s the constant and persistent bombardment of images of celebrities displaying their nothing-short-of-perfect bodies.
The other day I had a little cry inside, over Jennifer Aniston, who is 51, jogging her stunning body through some park in the US .
The girl is just two years younger than me but her body is better than mine was at 27.
She is toned, muscly but feminine and there is no sign of excess skin, cellulite, puckering or, in fact, ageing.
Don’t even get me started on her face, which appears to have stayed the same over the past two decades. She looked ravishing.
When I saw this image — and another one of her doing yoga for an advert to promote a wellness drink brand — it was like someone took a giant needle and pricked what remaining, marginally inflated self-confidence I may have scraped from the floor in my 54th year.
I could literally feel myself sinking.
Physically, my heart stopped and wondered if it was worth beating again. Because, quite frankly, I was beginning to question what the point was of going on.
This may sound dramatic but it’s genuinely how I feel.
We live in an unprecedented age of celebrity, based predominantly around image. Everything associated with everyone is about appearance.
Yesterday was another low blow. J-Lo - who is also 51! - was pictured naked looking lithe and shiny, toned, feminine, robust, strapping even, and my feelings of insignificance were elevated to the very highest level.
A dried-up old has-been like me feels intimidated
Look, I’m no idiot. I am acutely aware these women have access to physical trainers, make-up artist, dietitians, cooks, staff . . . not to mention Photoshop.
They get photographed by the best and wouldn’t let anything pass without a decent filter.
And doubtless, if I had the same facilities you might see a very different Ulrika Jonsson to the one you may witness on my social media.
But this peddling of perfection is, I believe, doing some very real damage.
It’s bad enough a dried-up old has-been like me feeling intimidated, paltry and pointless, but I’m concerned about the effect on all women, young and older, famous and “normal”.
As a mum of four — two of whom are young girls aged 16 and 20 — I’m painfully worried about what the effect of being surrounded by these images is doing to them and their sense of self-worth.
They may pretend to me that they are savvy and aware of filters and that these images are sometimes considerably distanced from reality, but I also know that, deep down, they will look in the mirror or at the selfie they take and feel utterly inconsequential.
They must feel they are not measuring up, and let’s not forget, my young girls have age on their side.
My 20-year-old, Bo, said to me the other day: “It’s the worst thing in the world to have social media. It’s toxic.
“You see these skinny minnies with perfect bodies and you just feel awful.”
And that’s her measuring herself against people of her own age.
Imagine, then, how it must feel for women in the “older” age group — of which I most definitely am one.
Think how it must feel for the “ordinary” woman, working or not working, mother or not, knackered, menopausal, physically drained by housework, exhausted by caring for extended family and financial woes.
To know that you’re juggling all of life’s plates and then, even after dolling yourself up with your best clothes and make-up, you still feel insufficient — you’re still not looking “good enough”. I can’t tell you how painful it is.
I have a little Instagram account which allows me some control over what the world sees of me and I made a strategic, albeit unavoidably natural, decision at the very start to show me as I really am.
I do not use filters and much of the time I most definitely look more than my 53 years.
I do not wear make-up in the day because, quite frankly, it’s me and the dogs and they don’t give a monkey’s about foundation and mascara, they just want food and frolicking.
After years of having to wear (often) heavy make-up for TV appearances and photoshoots, I’ve shed that skin and love nothing better than going without.
This slavery to perfection really needs to end
Members of the public who participate on my Insta page (I cannot bear to call them followers — they are better than that), say it’s a breath of fresh air and they like the sense of reality I offer.
I take great pride in those opinions and feel grateful.
I’m not going to lie though, the insecure me often wonders if I could be losing work because of it.
I wonder and fear — a little — that because I don’t look “great, fantastic and spectacular” that I may be sidelined for jobs in favour of those who obsess about their own exquisiteness. It’s a terrible admission to make but, deep down in my soul, I know I have to be true to myself. This is me. This is 53.
Of course, everyone has the right to be the very best “version of themselves”.
I acknowledge that. It might be an ugly world if you saw my boat race everywhere you looked.
But, hopefully and comically, it would be nice if I make people feel better about themselves when they see my image.
Because celebrities and influencers need to remember that with their platform comes responsibility.
Creating unrealistic expectations does so much damage and this slavery to perfection really needs to end.
Why am I not at the peak of my fitness? Why am I not toned, sculpted and looking refreshed? Why does my skin not glisten and glow?
But I doubt it will. When I looked at the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston a couple of days ago I found myself asking what my excuses were for not looking like that.
And then I remembered that I have other things in my life that take priority.
That I have made a choice of not putting that pressure on myself.
And then I see J-Lo looking sensational and I feel faulty and inadequate and I reach for a packet of crisps — and take comfort in thinking of all the other women who will be feeling exactly the same as me.

Sofia Vergara is feeling body confident!
The 45-year-old Modern Family actress recently posed nude for Women's Health 's Naked Issue, looking undeniably gorgeous on the September cover. In the accompanying interview, Vergara gets candid about how her body has changed through the years, the work she puts in to maintain her famous physique and why her husband, Joe Manganiello, appreciates her for being herself.
Vergara says posing naked for Women's Health was especially important to her because of the message it's sending.
"Here's a woman, 45, being able to show her body," she points out. "It's not like before, when it was just young girls who would make the cover of a magazine."
Though Mangianello, of course, had some thoughts.
"Joe's like, 'F**k, you're going to be naked in everything now? Why?'" she says with a laugh, referencing a steamy shower scene in her upcoming spy thriller, Bent .
Vergara has no problem getting candid about aging in Hollywood.
"I'm 45. Even if you want to, at this time in your life, you can't be perfect," she explains. "It's not that you hate it, or that you're upset about it, but it is our reality. We're changing. I see it happening to me. I want to look my age, but I want to look great. I think if you are obsessed with this 'I want to look younger' thing, you're going to go crazy."
"People say, 'Oh, you look like you're in your 20s.' Well, it's not true," she adds. "Our skin is different. I had never thought of the word pore, then I'm like, 'Sh**! What do I do with these?'"
Another topic Vergara isn't shy about is her bra size.
"I can barely cover my boobs with two arms -- I'm a 32-triple-D!" she says when noting why most nude magazine poses won't work for her. "My boobs are real, and I had a baby. If I grab them, I can't even cover the nipple!"
The actress is accepting of her body, including that she'll never have six-pack abs. But she does strive to eat healthy, and works out with a trainer three or four times a week using the Megaformer, an advanced Pilates machine.
"Joe built a very nice gym in the house, so I don't have any excuses," she admits. "It's not about having muscle or cut abs. I don't have abs because I'm not 'I need to be like a fit model with a perfect body.' That would take too much effort!"
"It's like torture for me," she later admits about exercising. "I'm in a bad mood two hours before, I'm in a bad mood while I'm doing it, I'm in a bad mood at the end because I have to schedule the next class."
But if there's one thing she does love, it's looking her best for any occasion. Vergara admits she almost always wears lipstick,
